Microcontrollers are fun.

Qualcomm’s reference platform VR820

Microsoft VR!

@thatpatrickguy

But… Will VR last?

@thatpatrickguy

People don’t want to lug a computer with them to the beach or on a train to while away

hours they would rather spend reading the sports or business section of the newspaper. Somehow, the microcomputer industry has

assumed that everyone would love to have a keyboard grafted on as an extension of their

fingers. It just is not so …

- New York Times, 1985

“”

@thatpatrickguy

The truth [is] no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network

will change the way government works. …

Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and

newspapers straight over the Internet. Uh, sure.

- Clifford Stoll, Newsweek, 1995

@thatpatrickguy

“I don't think people will want talking pictures long”

- Joseph Schenck, President of United Artists, 1928

“”

@thatpatrickguy

“the noise would simply drive audiences from the

theaters”

- Mary Astor and colleagues, 1967

“”

@thatpatrickguy

“[Television] won’t be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a

plywood box every night.”

- Darryl Zanuck, 20th Century Fox, 1946

@thatpatrickguy

“When virtual reality gets cheaper than dating, society is doomed.”

- Dogbert (Scott Adams, Dilbert)

How people respond to life-changing inventions…

@thatpatrickguy

1I’ve never heard of it.

@thatpatrickguy

2I’ve heard of it but don’t

understand it.

@thatpatrickguy

3I understand it, but I don’t see how it’s useful.

@thatpatrickguy

4I see how it could be fun for rich

people, but not me.

@thatpatrickguy

5I use it, but it’s just a toy.

@thatpatrickguy

6It’s becoming more useful for

me.

@thatpatrickguy

7I use it all the time.

@thatpatrickguy

8I could not imagine life without it.

@thatpatrickguy

9Seriously, people lived without it?

@thatpatrickguy

“I just tried HTC’s virtual reality headset Vive, and I’m certain

we’re on the precipice of a major change in computing. This is

going to change the world as we know it. Really.”

Dave Smith, Business Insider 2015

@thatpatrickguy

@thatpatrickguy

I in no way think that VR is going to be like 3DTV. It’s already too far along and

you see so much investment from all of the major players

- Kelly Alfieri — The New York Times’ VR Team

“”

@thatpatrickguy

The first half of 2016 alone saw $1.3 billion invested in

VR.

- 2016 report by IAB

@thatpatrickguy

It’s expected that 24 months from now, we’ll have a much better understanding of the four or five key use cases around how and why consumers will use VR, versus what they do on their phones,

iPads, TVs, and everything else.

“”- 2016 report by IAB

@thatpatrickguy

Too much text? Let’s break.

@thatpatrickguy

@thatpatrickguy

VIRTUAL REALITY

@thatpatrickguy

IS STILL BEING WORKED OUT.

@thatpatrickguy

Which is an opportunity not a disadvantage!
